Dr. Cal Lightman (Tim Roth) is a Living Lie Detector, able to calculate human honesty through facial expressions - called Micro Expressions - and body language. The pioneer of this field, he operates his own business, working with federal and private clients to solve criminal and civil cases. A case of Truth in Television (well, somewhat), as the show is based on the (widely criticized, un-peer-reviewed, and largely unsubstantiated) "science" of Paul Ekman.Lightman is joined by a team of three other analysts. Dr. Gillian Foster (Kelli Williams) is Lightman's close friend and the other senior staff member. She usually heads up another investigation while Lightman is busy on a separate case. Ria Torres (Monica Raymund) is a "natural" deception-detector. Lightman found her as a security agent at the airport. Rounding out the band is Eli Loker (Brendan Hines), an utterly shameless flirt committed to 100% honestynote His radical honesty disappears quickly in season 1. Lightman's precocious teenage daughter Emily Lightman (Hayley McFarland) and his ex-wife Zoe Landau (Jennifer Beals) are part of the cast as well.The usual format of the show follows the team around as they pursue two different cases, typically one criminal and one brought to them by a private client. Though their research into microexpressions can't be used in court as evidence, it provides a start for prosecutors and companies in ferreting out the truth.It seems similar on the surface to The Mentalist: a smart guy that can tell if you're lying, and who's fond of the Batman Gambit, works to solve crimes. There's the wild-card male main character with a tendency to antagonize adversaries and not let others in on his schemes, his Unresolved Sexual Tension with his more rational female second, conflicts with authority like the FBI, and so on. Some of the plots, especially in the first season, are similar as well. But as they say in the show, "We're scientists, not magicians," and that's where the shows diverge. Perhaps most notably, the show lets you in on what the Living Lie Detector is seeing and doing, so that the audience start to see the cues that they use to see when people are lying. The show quickly comes into its own, and by the second season, it's a real joy to watch Tim Roth play the role of Cal Lightman.note Like it used to be with Simon Baker playing Patrick Jane.Initially ordered for just 13 episodes, it was a big hit with audiences at first, getting it a full second season. But its ratings rapidly declined, leading to its cancellation as of May 10, 2011 by FOX, ending after its third season of 13 episodes.For the South Korean series of the same name, see Lie to Me (SK).

Death by Origin Story: Cal's mother, who committed suicide after convincing her psychologist she was ready to be released from an institution, and the reason Cal became a psychologist in the first place. If someone had seen her microexpressions, Cal believes, they could have saved her. Any time he deals with a suicide, he's trying to right that wrong.

The Main Characters Do Everything
 Lie to Me / int_1c9537cd
comment
The Main Characters Do Everything: Despite the large numbers of extras in The Lightman Group, any given episode's plot(s) seems to involve only Lightman, Torres, Loker, Foster, and Reynolds. The show is based on Paul Ekman, but they only rarely intervene in individual cases, instead of just training folks. Maybe that's what all those extras are doing.

Black Comedy: "What's green and red and goes really fast?" "A frog in a blender." Creepy, but it says something about Cal that he knew the punchline before the killer said it. About half the dialogue of the Pied Piper, really. What tips it over the edge is the creepy little-kid voice.

Bilingual Bonus: In the beginning of "Pied Piper", Wilkes is praying the Confietor, the confession of sin from the Roman Catholic church (which is also the origin of the phrase "mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa") in the original Latin. The show is also fond of only translating Spanish when it's plot-relevant, so that also probably counts.

Perp Sweating
 Lie to Me / int_2d50bb66
comment
Perp Sweating: Along with material witnesses and victims. Cal and Ria's techniques of information gathering waltz into the distinctly unusual. Ria: Flirted with a considerable number of men at a frat party to see if any of them are aroused by voyeurism. Took her head covering off inside a mosque to gauge anti-American fundamentalism. Faked hysterical tears to get the head of a juvie facility to allow the Lightman Group jurisdiction on a murder investigation. Cal: Showed a suspected statutory rapist pictures of young semi-naked women to see if he's a hebephile. Pretended to have an imaginary friend to determine if a boy can tell reality from fiction. Staged a fight with his daughter on his cell phone in order to see if the parents he was interviewing were abusive. Threatened a girl with multiple personality disorder to get a confession out of one of her other personalities. Fired a gun loaded with blanks inside a locked room in the proximity of the South Korean ambassador. Made out with a murder suspect to gauge the victim's son'snote her step-son; she'd married his dad reaction to her promiscuity (and determine if he slept with her). Cal lampshades his unusual methods in "Pied Piper": "Sometimes you have to use a pickaxe to get at the truth". Of course, this is right after he's insulted the aunt and uncle of a murder victim and trashed their bookcase because he thinks they've faked the tape of the killer. They haven't. Allowed a suspected molester, his possible victim, and her mother to be in the same place at the same time, and told the mother the daughter is a sadist. He then invites them to "enjoy the freakshow" and leaves. Gillian gets in on the action only a little, notably the time she and Cal staged a fight in front of a woman they suspected of being a victim of domestic abuse. Gillian slaps Cal, but the woman isn't being abused. Also, the time she pulled out the cleavage and short skirt to bait a witness out of a dive bar.

My Master, Right or Wrong
 Lie to Me / int_2dae4381
comment
My Master, Right or Wrong: Torres has this for Cal, but in "Pied Piper", Loker calls it into question. Torres accuses him of being a rat fleeing the sinking ship, but Loker (rightly) points out that Cal got an innocent man executed. Unfortunately, Gillian catches them and reams them out, proving her adherance to the trope: Averted by Loker, towards both Cal and Gillian. He makes it known from the beginning that he questions their methods, and as time goes on and he constantly takes shit from them, he believes Cal's outright dangerous and Gillian's a better liar than any of them.

Batman Gambit
 Lie to Me / int_38d02d44

Batman Gambit: It's a given that in any episode, Cal will be pulling at least one of these. Cal, Gillian, and Burns vs. Little Moon in "Exposure" is one big one: Cal's mixing lies and his science to prove Burns didn't kill Little Moon's father, Gillian is worried about Burns but backs Cal's play, and Burns is following Cal's lead some of the time and going off script others, and they're trying to keep Little Moon convinced that he needs them all alive. Cal versus Andrew Jenkins in "Blinded": Cal appears to let Jenkins get the best of him at every turn in order to set him for a later fall, and even instigates arguments with his unsuspecting colleagues to entice the necessary reactions from an observing Jenkins.

Kansas City Shuffle: A fairly brilliant one. In the teaser for "In the Red", Cal inexplicably has joined a bank robbery team. As we learn from the episode-long flashback, Cal actually saw Miller in the bank, read from his face how badly he wanted to rob the bank, convinced him to hire him on, then immediately went to the bank manager and informed him he was about to be robbed. He convinced the bank manager to cut him in - money which he desperately needs since his accounts are frozen and he's about to be sued by his publishing company for breach of contract - and then turned the bank manager into the police for the inciting error that pushed Miller over the edge.

Hesitation Equals Dishonesty
 Lie to Me / int_5664dbe4
comment
Hesitation Equals Dishonesty: Played with, but mostly subverted. Prepared lies in fact generally cause people to answer quicker, not slower, because they have already prepared their story for questioning. The show goes on to explain that the way to catch these people is to ask them to go their story backwards. A liar won't have thought it through, but someone telling the truth won't have any difficulty (e.g. "I went to the park at about midnight, before that I was at the restaurant, and before that I was out giving candy to orphans.") The show also emphasizes how getting details wrong in your story and correcting them is typically a sign of telling the truth. A prepared lie will almost always come out right the first time, while someone will often get details wrong when telling the truth. Meanwhile other things, like unconscious bias, can come out as hesitation. Someone with racist tendencies won't fail to associate positive words with people of other races, they'll simply be slower to do so, for example.

Fake Assassination: The governor is suspected of attempting to ride a "Bullet Bump" to re-election, when an assassin who seemed to be aiming at him pretends to miss and kills a staffer. It was actually his wife who ordered the hit, and the hitman did not miss his intended target: the staffer knew too much.

Central Theme
 Lie to Me / int_5ce7dbb9
comment
Central Theme: Systematic bias, and how it can affect judgment, cropping up whenever Loker or Torres get involved in a case. Let us say they are both passionate. One episode also implies that bias caused a disaster for Lightman early in his work. Another theme is the loyalty between partners (usually a case-of-the-week parallel to Cal and Gillian) and when deception between partners is acceptable.

Emotions vs. Stoicism
 Lie to Me / int_62c365d5
comment
Emotions vs. Stoicism: Lightman and Foster are able to suppress their emotions at all times due to their experience and professionalism, Loker as well for most of the time due to his general laid-back nature (with a few exceptions), but Torres, being the least experienced, has an unfortunate habit of letting her emotions cloud her judgement, and as soon as Lightman sees them having any sort of influence over her, he'll quickly dismiss anything she says (possibly after a bit of mocking).

"Not So Different" Remark
 Lie to Me / int_984ef9ef

"Not So Different" Remark: In "The Royal We", Cal tells how to create a disturbed personality ("constant criticism and lack of affection"), talking about a pageant contestant. Torres points out, "you mean, the way you treat Loker". She's right - Cal's jerkass tendencies toward his employees (Loker in particular) have edged into downright cruelty. "Funhouse" explores how Cal's mother, Cal, and Emily (where depression runs in the family) aren't so different from Wayne's father, Wayne, and Amanda (who have paranoid schizophrenia that runs in the family).

Cal seems to have a thing for hot blondes with whom he's in over his head. First Poppy, the Vegas card shark (or, as Gillian calls her, "roulette"); then Clara, the former gold-digging businesswoman who, as of "Teacher and Pupils" loans the Lightman Group around seven figures worth of money, making her the lead investor and Cal's new boss. She lasts until "Bullet Bump", when we find out that Clara helped a politician's wife cover up a murder. Then there's Naomi, from "Double Blind", who actually successfully cons him except he replaced the diamond with a fake very early on. Now it looks like Wallowski's going this way, too, though she isn't a blonde.

It's Personal: Cal and suicides, for very good reason - his mother committed suicide, and he blames the psychiatrists and himself for not seeing it coming. Most notably explored in "Depraved Heart". Also tends to flip his shit if a case involves teenage girls, since it hits close to his own daughter. Abusive fathers also ping Cal's radar, since his father used to get drunk and smack Cal and his mother around. Gillian and adopted children - in "Do No Harm", we find out that she'd once tried to adopt a child, but the girl was reclaimed by her birth mother - as well as drug addiction - her husband Alec is an addict, which is a major factor behind their eventual divorce. Torres and domestic abuse - her father used to drink and hit Ria and her sister Ava.

Artistic License – Religion: In the pilot episode, the family of a Jehovah's Witness kid accused of murder use some religious idioms that are seldom expressed in the JW world except in parody or sarcasm, such as "praying for your soul". Also, the JW child is afraid of being sent to Hell. This is a major research failure: Jehovah's Witnesses don't believe in Hell. Further, it's highly unlikely they would "pray for your soul" given they don't believe in the soul in the terms most understand it. Body and soul are not viewed as separate things. Rather, people will be resurrected by God in their belief if righteous, while sinners are left dead.

Enhance Button: Lampshaded. "Can you blow up her eyebrows? And do that thing." The show generally doesn't use this - we don't see pixellated pictures get all cleared up... because they're already all cleared up. It seems all cameras in the show's universe have ludicrously high resolution. Of course any photos not high enough quality to read would be tossed for this exact reason, and the recording often are being taken by the Lightman Foundation who would of course be using the highest quality cameras possible for their work

Too Dumb to Live: The conflict of the episode "The Best Policy" is kicked off by a young American man who brings his sister marijuana in a country where possession is an executable offense, and the Lightman Group must assist in negotiating their release. Drug use issues aside, trying to bring narcotics across national borders and through customs checkpoints is risky at the best of times, but one would think that someone even considering it would at least want to ensure that the country they are bringing it into does not have the death penalty for possession. Flashing the bag of weed on the open road in front of government vehicles does not help either.

Oppressive Immigration Enforcement: "Depraved Heart" features Lightman and his team stumbling upon a forced surrogacy operation, revealed to be led to by ICE agent Mike Personick. Personick abuses his position to force immigrants into being surrogates to his wealthy clients, keeping them in appalling conditions and then goading them into committing suicide when they are no longer anymore use to him.

Informed Attribute: Eli Loker is said to be a practitioner of "radical honesty", but apart from an occasional tactless line we don't ever see it, though supposedly it should be quite radical. In fact, a major story arc has him lying extensively and dragging Torres into his lies. He was caught lying about his feelings for a woman, and was insincere about his motives when pretending to be Emily's friend in order to keep an eye on her. This may have been true in the beginning, however, one of the plot points of Season 1 was him deciding there were situations where it was okay to lie, and leaving this idea of radical honesty behind him.

You Can Always Tell a Liar
 Lie to Me / int_c428afb9
comment
You Can Always Tell a Liar: The entire point of this series. Which, interestingly enough, it subverts in "Dirty Loyal", when Cal teaches Wallowski to lie, and IA forces Gillian to decide if she's telling the truth. Gillian is torn between her loyalty to Cal, which would mean she'd lie for Cal/Wallowski and say Wallowski isn't corrupt, and her ability to discern truth, which would mean she sent Wallowski to prison because she is lying. Gillian ultimately lies, causing conflict between her and Cal.

Cringe Comedy: Or the dramatic equivalent. Repeatedly they build up lies that are sure to have part of the audience cringing in expectation of the all but inevitable discovery. Sometimes it works out, though. "Headlock" is a particularly strong showing of this trope as Cal, then Cal plus Torres, then Cal plus Torres plus Reynolds, etc., all try to keep the rest of the investigation team from learning that Cal's the prime murder suspect... and not only that, but Cal passes Torres off as a potential fighter to the "crime boss" figure, and a few scenes later Torres is on duty in the office when they bring that guy in for questioning....

Shout-Out: "Because you always have been, and you always will be... my best mate!" Cal in the mental institution in "Pied Piper" is one big valentine to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, especially his very McMurphy-esque canary-eating grin as he gets admitted. "Funhouse", though, takes the expectation of the "Cuckoo's Nest" parallels and then subverts them. Cal calls Burns "Captain America" a few times in "Exposure". "What's green and red and goes really fast?" "A frog in a blender."

Two Lines, No Waiting: Usually there are two cases per episode, with Cal and Ria on one, Gillian and Eli on the other. This has been switched up in Season Two with Cal and Gillian on one case and Eli and Ria on the other. "The Canary's Song" of Season Three had Cal and Eli on one case, and Gillian and Ria on the other, with decidedly epic results.

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: "Beat The Devil" has the verification of a UFO as its B-plot. Thirty-minute mark, they find (real!) video footage of it. Fifty-minute mark, an Air Force officer shows up with a bullshit story. Loker sees right through him to the truth: The Air Force has no idea what it was, and would much rather ruin a college professor's life than admit that anything in US airspace is outside their knowledge. They finally get the witness and the Air Force to agree on a story to save the witness' career - uber-uber-top-secret aircraft. Loker smiles and saves the video to hard drive as the episode ends.

Hard Work Hardly Works
 Lie to Me / int_cc427069
comment
Hard Work Hardly Works: Dr. Lightman spent years studying microexpressions, while Ria Torres is a natural. He's somewhat bothered by the fact, but it's also largely subverted. While Torres is incredibly skilled considering her relatively limited experience, Lightman is still far better and doesn't have emotional blindspots. Also subverted in that, while her Gut Feeling is right a good amount of the time, most of Torres' mistakes come from relying on her natural gift. Lightman does seem to enjoy calling her out on this a bit too much, although arguably as his mentor it is his jo. Truth in Television. Paul Ekman, the real life Lightman, found that about 0.25% of the population qualifies as a "truth wizard" (someone able to spot a lie at least 80% of the time).

Lying to the Perp: Cal, of course. Not just the perps, but material witnesses too. One notable example was Cal bringing in the "father" of a girl who had committed suicide to get a guy to confess to "depraved heart murder". It was a mate of his. Overt example in "Headlock" where Cal lies to the face of a witness to a fight club that Cal was not the guy he saw arguing with the victim because it was dark and the witness has "astigmatism".

Animal Motifs: Cal's metaphor for women in "Double Blind". He tells Torres to look up the monarch and the viceroy butterflies - predators won't touch either butterfly because they look so similar, but one is harmless and the other is poisonous. He later calls Naomi a "viceroy", because she's been playing him. Deceptive, and ultimately harmless. It's the monarch that's poisonous.

Lie Detector: Dr. Lightman points out all the ways polygraphs suck. One of them involves getting a guy to fail the control questions by use of a woman in a sexy outfit. In "Sweet Sixteen" he used a fake lie detector so the subject would focus on beating that rather than his body language. In a season one episode he also taught someone how to "cheat" and make the lie detector read her as truthful, because her story was true, but the situation made her so anxious that the polygraphs would pick up lies.

Sarcastic Clapping* He did get called out on it beforehand and was punished afterwards. In the second season premiere, Cal threatens to rape a woman, who was raped as a child, in order to speak to one of her split personalities. He wasn't serious, of course, but saying 'sorry' beforehand does not make this okay. No other character (including the woman in question, or at least the personality that was threatened) questions what he did afterwards, despite it being ludicrously dangerous, unprofessional, and unethical.

David Burns is Gillian's Romantic False Lead from "Delinquent" to "Exposure". He seems perfect for her, a gentleman who works with kids and treats her like a princess. Unfortunately, he's an undercover DEA agent up to his eyeballs in drug trades and gangs, and is, according to Cal, "one of the best liars I've ever seen". After he (along with Cal and Gillian) takes down Little Moon, he walks out on Gillian because the DEA is going to give him a new identity.

 Lie to Me / int_fdc1e848
comment
Will They or Won't They?: Cal and Gillian; expect a couple of seasons' worth of UST, especially now that Gillian's single. And that Cal has admitted to Emily that he loves Gillian. "Fold Equity" suggests that Eli and Ria may experience this as well. "Darkness and Light" guarantees it. This series is notable in that it was canceled before this trope could be resolved for anyone. It's highly unusual, and most likely shows how quickly the show fell out of favor with audiences. The spoiler tag above happened on the very last episode, so the writers certainly wanted to return to it.

comment
Shown Their Work: The show is based off of Paul Ekman's promising, but not-yet-complete, research. It doesn't acknowledge many of the shortcomings in the research (unlike Ekman himself), and doesn't have time to explain the intricacies of the findings, but the principles are quite sound. Anyone familiar with Paul Ekman's research will recognize things in this show, lifted directly from the man's lectures and experiments. The pilot, for example, used a clip of a microexpression on Kato Kaelin from the OJ Simpson trial; the exact same clip that Ekman has used in his own lectures. Also, pictures of Tim Roth going through the Facial Action Coding System are mounted in Lightman's office. However, the show leaves fidelity to the real Paul Ekman behind somewhere late in the first season, and only deviates further as episodes wear on.
